Abstract
An experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of feeding type for the growing period on growth performance feed efficiency and carcass characteristics with Holstein steers for 18 mo from 6 to 24 mo of age. Twenty-four Holstein steers were fed commercial concentrate with rice straw T1 with mixed grass hay T2 or wet brewer;s grain based TMR ad libitum T3. Body weight at slaughter and mean daily gains were 751.0 and 1.01 802.0 and 1.16 and 794.0 and 1.14 kg for Tl T2 and T3 respectively. Dressing percentage mean 60.8 back fat thickness 6.68 mm and rib eye area 84.0 cm2 did not differ between the treatments. Neither meat quality characteristics nor physico-chemical properties were significantly different between the treatments.
